Final

Congrats to the Bulldogs and good luck tomorrow.

Holmes 54

SL 47

 

So close. Congrats to Holmes.

That is a pretty good prediction.

Anyone there? Stats? Matchups? Anything!!?!!?!??!?!

Congrats Bulldogs, keep on truckin....

Go Dawgs!!!!! Bring the title to Covington and the 9th

Hill and Rice with almost all the points for Holmes. Henderson shut down Proffitt for most of the game, although he did score about 15 in the 4th quarter. Bad shooting by both teams, but the offensive rebounding of Holmes allowed them to take and make more shots than SL.

I think Holmes matches up against Scott co. better than any team in this tourney, It will be a good one tomm mourning.

Holmes moved the ball very well. A lot of good cuts led to easy buckets.They looked well rebounding the ball. Proffit handled the ball well, but was terrible shooting.The first period he was lucky to draw iron.

Anybody have a box score?

For those of you who siad Holmes can't beat a zone, that was proven wrong today. Holmes moved the ball very well against SL's zone.

 

SL got off to a quick start jumping out to an early 10-2 lead but Holmes responded well.

 

1) Henderson was all over Profitt and absolutely shut him down. SUre Profitt had 10 points but his first 2 came with 6:30 left in the 4th qtr and 5 of those points were free throws.

 

2) Hill and Rice absolutely dominated. Rice was too quick down low for any of the SL big men and caused them to get in foul trouble early. Hill was on tonight and did a great job both offensivelly and defensively.

 

3) Holmes athleticism wore down SL. At the end of every qtr and during free throws you could see Sl's players were sucking wind.

 

It was a nice run for SL, but I guess Holmes speed was just too much.

 

On a side note it was nice tos ee Hill and Profitt hug after the game. Great sportsmanship by both teams.

Anybody have a box score?

 

Henderson 7

Rice 23

Hill 20

Arnold 3

Jefferson 2

 

I think thats all correct

I would have NEVER said this before the start of the tournament, but Hill is the best player in the state. UK needs to offer this kid a scholarship, Seriously. I don't care who the coach is. It's not like Patterson and Lucas are going there now. He could be another Loften(a great player under the radar), we need to keep this kid in Kentucky. If not some school is going to have a steal in him.

Henderson 7

Rice 23

Hill 20

Arnold 3

Jefferson 2

 

I think thats all correct

 

Stats

 

When you shoot 37.3% from the floor, and only 18.2% from behind the three point line, you had better shoot a whole lot better if you think you are going to beat a very good shooting Scott County team. Do I think Holmes can beat SC? Yes I do, but they must hit their shoots and Henderson and Jefferson need to score a lot more than a total of 7 points for Holmes to win this game...... Holmes will not out rebound SC by a 40/29 margin.
